Sateda is a planet in the Pegasus Galaxy. For a long time it is inhabited by humans, who are split into different minor groups and clans. These unite in 1396 CE, creating the Great United Sateda, and starting a new way to count time (Years Before/After the Great Unification of Sateda, or BGU/AGU). A year on Sateda is roughly the same length as a year on Earth.
With civil wars ended, the Satedans build a better nation for their people and begin to develop fairly quickly technologically. Within five hundred years, they have an industrial revolution, and by 600 AGU (ca. 1998 CE) Sateda is technologically on par with Earth in the 1940s or 50s, barring any nuclear technology which haven't been invented on Sateda yet. GovernmentSateda is a democracy led by a Chieftain elected every four years. The government is structured around the Chieftain, with Advisers, Senators, and other officials. The Chieftain's right hand is the Commander-in-Chief, who, in case of the Chieftain's death, moves in to continue that Chieftain's regime until a new Chieftain is elected. The CiC has the power to take command of the Planetary Forces whenever necessary, such an emergency.
Chieftain Tyrell is elected in 594 AGU (1992 CE), starting the Tyrell Regime. She is re-elected four years later thanks to the progress she did with public health, education, and also military advances. Her Commander-in-Chief is Jacun. Tyrell is supported by the leader of the Satedan Planetary Forces, Task Master Kell, who makes sure the Forces have a sizable budget. MilitaryThe Satedan Planetary Forces (SPF) is the main military force on Sateda. To be part of it, all personnel must first attend the Satedan Military Academia for three to four years. The Forces operate on Sateda inside of the Chieftain's Headquarters for her security, as well as offworld, running ops of sabotage and gathering intel about the Wraith. They use the Stargate for that. The Stargate is considered firstly government properly, but is mainly being used by the military. Satedans rarely trade with it, being a self-dependent people. These offworld missions are carried out by Strike Teams consisting of four people in each.
The ultimate goal of these missions is to weaken the Wraith to secure the future of Sateda. They have been going on for at least two generations. The Forces' highest ranking officer is the Commander-in-Chief, who is elected by the Chieftain at the beginning of their first term. After them comes the Task Master, who would be a trained career officer. During the Tyrell Regime these two people are Commander-in-Chief Jacun and Task Master Kell. Other ranks in the Forces, in order from lowest to highest, are:
Each Strike Team is led by a Specialist (and the rest of the team are Recruits) or a Chief Specialist (in which case the team can be Recruits with one Specialist). Settlements
The Three MoonsSateda's three moons are named from legends and myth, and are important to Satedan culture. A common exclamation when a person is surprised, shocked or in awe is "By the moons!" or "By the Three!".
